The Poisoning of Presidential Power
Friends,
Three examples from just the last week.
On Saturday, Trump said, “Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship.”
He called O’Donnell a “threat to humanity” and said she should remain in Ireland, where she moved in January after Trump won a second term.
O’Donnell responded on Instagram: “The president of the USA has always hated the fact that I see him for who he is — a criminal con man sexual abusing liar out to harm our nation to serve himself.”
A central feature of Trump’s second term is his poisoning of the power of the presidency for personal ends, such as wanting to get even with O’Donnell for having expressed negative views about him.
Another example: Trump is putting a 50 percent tariff on imports from Brazil, starting August 1. This isn’t because it will help the American economy or even the broader interests of the United States.
